Scout Troop tackles ivy at Grace Cole Nature Park

Troop 850 Scouts recently seized a lucky weather window to dedicate a day of service at Grace Cole Nature Park, where they focused on removing invasive ivy from steep slopes. Their hard work was evident as they tackled some of the park's most challenging areas, demonstrating both commitment and teamwork. Thanks to the support of Blooma Tree Service, which provided wood chips, the park's restoration efforts gained momentum. The community's involvement continues, with another work party scheduled for April 12, where more Scouts will assist. The article humorously notes the role of fathers, who, while enjoying coffee, also contributed significantly by hauling debris down the slopes.

This event not only showcases the Scouts' dedication but also emphasizes the importance of community service in preserving local parks. The collaborative effort reflects a shared commitment to environmental stewardship in Lake Forest Park. Such initiatives foster a sense of camaraderie and responsibility among residents, encouraging ongoing participation in local conservation efforts.
